I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 817 - 818: Divine Fall Warrior_1

Chapter 817: Chapter 818: Divine Fall Warrior_1

Stepping into the light screen, Song Jian felt as if he had arrived in another space;

This place was very similar to the final battleground semi-dimensional plane he had entered before, seemingly a small world detached from the main plane of the game, but Song Jian could distinctly sense that the other things in the Magic Crystal Mine weren’t entirely severed from this place, which was an odd feeling, as if he had stepped into a fissure between a semi-dimensional plane and the main world;

After entering the light screen, Song Jian looked up and was startled to see a War Puppet standing tall like a skyscraper, over a hundred meters high, under the firmament-like dome of light;

This War Puppet resembled a small mountain, with sixteen black and white wings on its back, although most of these wings were already severely damaged. The body of the War Puppet was also covered in scars, one of which extended from its chest to its waist, almost splitting it in half, making it seem as if this War Puppet had been through a fierce battle.

Song Jian even suspected that this War Puppet had been scrapped for a long time and could no longer move even the slightest finger.

“Divine Fall Warrior?” Song Jian stared at the War Puppet, carefully checking its attributes, and indeed, it was a War Puppet, named Divine Fall Warrior.

...

At that moment, Song Jian noticed clear signs of repairs on the right thigh of the War Puppet. A flash of insight struck him, recalling the three Gray Dwarf blacksmiths he had seen in the Flame Furnace, who, although they had become lifeless shells, were still forging something. Initially, Song Jian thought they were forging items out of instinct, but now it seemed that they were clearly repairing parts for this War Puppet;

“Such a terrifying being, far superior to the ten-meter-tall War Puppets we saw before. No wonder the Gray Dwarves were able to create such a formidable war machine that it caught the attention of the gods!” Song Jian slowly approached, carefully examining the War Puppet, and muttered to himself;

Just then, a thought struck Song Jian like lightning: “Could it be that this War Puppet has become a threat to the existence of deities, and that is why it attracted the gaze of the gods, evoking their disgust, and even… fear?” Song Jian exclaimed in shock;

Divine Fall, Divine Fall, a warrior capable of felling gods, Song Jian fixated on the name of the War Puppet, his face showing a look of surprise.

This War Puppet was already severely damaged, but it was known that the strength of every War Puppet was directly proportional to its height. Those ten-meter-tall War Puppets needed only one or two to destroy a city; this towering behemoth, standing over a hundred meters, would have been a genuine threat to the gods in its intact state, perhaps possessing the power above that of a demigod;

The most terrifying part was that such an entity could be mass-produced. Imagine that, with hundreds or even thousands of such fearsome beings, challenging the gods would seem not so impossible;

Of course, all of this was just Song Jian’s speculation, given his current strength, he had no way to fathom the terrifying power a real deity might possess;

At that thought, there was a moment when Song Jian even considered taking the damaged War Puppet with him, but seeing the dome of light around him like the vault of heaven, Song Jian knew that once he left this area, the War Puppet would certainly be exposed to the gaze of the gods.

By then, with his meager strength, he wouldn’t be able to protect the War Puppet, and he might even incur the dissatisfaction of the gods, who could directly obliterate him and the entire City of Hope, just like they destroyed the Gray Dwarves before.

At the thought, Song Jian felt some regret. He was like entering a treasure mountain and coming out empty-handed. Such a massive weapon was laid out before him, yet he could reap no benefits from it.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly noticed a purplish-red light shimmering behind the left leg of the terrifying war automaton. He walked over and found that the glint came from a treasure chest that was half-buried in the dirt.

This treasure chest was stuck in the dirt, right up against the metal skin of the automaton’s left leg. Carved on the surface of the chest was the finely detailed head of a Gray Dwarf, as if it were roaring loudly at Song Jian. In its eyes sat two dazzling gems, one red, one blue; each was the size of a fist, and just those two stones alone were worth a fortune.

Seeing this chest sent Song Jian’s heart racing with excitement. No other players had been here before, which was why an epic loot chest appeared. Otherwise, the best one might find here would be a gold or even silver-quality chest at most.

Song Jian crouched down, inspected the chest carefully, and dug it out of the dirt. It wasn’t locked, which allowed Song Jian to breathe a sigh of relief. If it had been locked, he surely would have fainted from disappointment right then and there.

With both hands on the chest, Song Jian began to open it, and the progress bar for opening the chest slowly started to move.

The higher the quality of the chest, the slower it opened. Such a chest required at least three minutes of maintaining the opening gesture for Song Jian to unlock it.

System: Chest opening in progress… 1%… 2%…

Song Jian’s entire attention was focused on the chest opened before him, unaware that as he was doing so, the eye sockets of the broken war automaton next to him, previously dark as two deep voids, began to glow faintly red from deep within.

Song Jian watched the progress bar inch forward, and just as it was about to reach the end, he felt something amiss. For some unknown reason, the ground began to tremble ever so slightly.

At a soft sound, the chest’s lid sprang open. Song Jian immediately gathered up all the items inside. Besides two scrolls, there was also a piece of equipment in the chest. While Song Jian was about to check the properties of the equipment, he suddenly noticed that the large metal column next to the chest, which was the automaton’s left leg, started to rise slowly.

“This guy can still move?” Song Jian’s heart sank instantly. He hastily looked up, and in midair, two red lights kept blinking, as though they were intently watching him. The automaton, comparable to a god, had somehow been activated without his notice. Its eyes were flashing a frightening red as its left leg stomped down hard toward Song Jian, like squashing a roach scurrying everywhere.
